I have WinXp and Office 2003. I attempt to send a fax but before doing so
would like to preview it. It automatically opens AdobeCS and previews it
there. The problem is Adobe takes long to start-up and viewing the fax
isn't clear. Is there a way to have it open to say "paint" or "word" or any
other smaller programs?

Thanks!!!

There are many causes for this problem. Most often, this problem arises
because some other imaging application that you installed has set itself as
the default viewer for TIF files. To view faxes from the Fax Console, the
Windows Imaging and Fax viewer must be your default viewer for TIF files.
You can easily restore that setting in Windows Explorer > Folder Options.
File Types. For most users the command line should read:

"rundll32.exe <drive>:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen %1"
